  1. When in doubt get the KW version. They make high quality rep watches.
  2. I just received the latest Noob SD 4000. The fit and finish is amazing. Is there a thread that I missed regarding this watch? Sure if you hold the watch at a certain angle the dial looks a bit glossy but everything else looks very good. Tight end links, beautifully brushed bracelet, rehaut engraving lines up perfectly.
  3. Www.pure-time.com Be sure to get the KW version. It's the better watch and its case has been tested and it is in fact...Bronze.
  4. Tiger rehaut is wokky. Case shape appears all wrong...as are all the rep cases I have seen.
  5. He has a section on REPGEEK. He does great work. You will also need to re drill those lug holes and install 2 mm spring bars.
  6. I had PbDad mod a silex 6538 and I believe he just shaved down the crystal that came with the watch. The BIG issue with all of the rep case sets are the case lugs. The gen lugs are straighter than all the rep cases I have seen. The reps all have the typical curved lugs of a modern sub. You would not think the difference would be anything to notice but indeed it's very noticeable and just ruins the LOOK. I have asked several of the cartel dealers to ask the factories to make a one to one case set but they all say they need the gen to do it right and of course they won't spend 30,000 for a gen.
  7. I have a Noob 187 in as new condition. Very great all time rep.
  8. I have a beautiful H factory 240J. Love it except for the inside corners of its CG. How difficult is it to file the inside corners to eliminate the rounded appearance? Is there a tutorial anywhere to guide me?
  9. Malio is the way to go for Pam straps. He will tailor make them for your individual liking all at reasonable pricing.
  10. Jeez.....I can't wear a watch with a visible scratch it bothers me so much!
  11. Have you tried cleaning the watch case with dish soap and water? I own the h factory v3 and my feeling is it's case color is the best available. Everything else is just too dark....nearly black.
  12. I have a few KW watches and they never fail to impress. I believe overall KW produces a better watch. That being said every rep watch has faults....in terms of the Bronzo the only issues are the pearl being a bit rounded and the edge of the bezel not beveled/polished to a shine. I actually own the z factory version. It's a great watch but I can't get around the fact the color looks like brass to my eyes rather than bronze. In fact I handed the watch to several friends and each said it looked like a brass watch. The KW watch seems to look more like bronze.
  13. Perfect clones watch is the KW version Puretime is the z factory version Get the KW version.
  14. The major issue with this watch as well as the Yuki 6538 cases is that rehaut. Very wokky and too deep vs the gen. Also I've never seen a rep case that had the correct case profile. The gen 6538 case has those long case lugs with the very tips turning down. This is as opposed to the more modern subs that have more curved lugs which on the wrist makes the lugs appear shorter than gen. I have a cartel watch which Pbdad reworked ....shaved down the crystal, drilled the lug holes, aged the dial. I think although inaccurate as all the rep 6538s are it is the best bang for the buck.
  15. The italian Navy wrote numbers on everything given to its sailers. The strap that is within the Panerai catalog just so happens to have the number 74 written on it and it is now called the "74 strap". I have that same strap in my noob 127.
  16. Noob is generally the best for Pam reps. can't go wrong with KW either. Avoid the H factory.
  17. I also bought the v2 with the kevler strap. What bothers me is that the buckle is such a different color from the watch case! I have several bronze buckles and all look the same color as the buckle on the Kevlar. Case looks much more coppery in color.
  18. Luckily I've bought over 20 rep Pam's and never have had an issue such as that. Certainly it happens and you were the unlucky one.
  19. Generally the best pam reps come from the Noob factory. Although the KW and z factory Pam's are also a very good choice. I tend to avoid H factory since every one I have bought has left me disappointed. I have never owned a Davidson pam but from the photos I have seen these are a step below Noob.
  20. The Asian 7750 movement is viewed as not very reliable whereas the Seagull is. However the 7750 can be serviced while if the Seagull goes belly up its toast. I have owned many many reps that contain a 7750 and currently have over a dozen in my possession. I have had 7750s arrive dead but all that we're running initially are still running well today. I as such have a very positive feeling for this movement.
  21. If the dealer is not listed on trusted rep watch forums......walk away very quickly!
  22. I have a few kuvarsit watches and they are the best of the best in terms of quality. I plan on buying their Bronzo.
  23. I own four h factory watches and four kuvarsit and a dozen noobs......all Pam's. With H factory Pam's I am always disappointed.....if everything is perfect you still have the rounded inner corners of their CG's to contend with. If there is a choice always pick noob.
